The Blackpool Dance Festival began in 1920 in the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
More information about the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool -
The venue was built in 1896. It was designed by Manghall and Littlewood of Manchester, and decorated by J.M.Boekbinder. At 110 ft by 189 ft, offering 20,790 sqft of floor space, the ballroom was one of the largest in the world. It has a barrel-vaulted ceiling, decoratively treated as a square-coffered vault with relief patterned panels, with twelve glass chandeliers. The ballroom has a decorated balcony on three sides,
It was requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1918 for military use during World War I to assemble gas envelopes for the R.33 airship, before being handed back a year later. The floor was replaced in late 1934 with 10,000 pieces of oak, mahogany, walnut and greenwood, laid over 1,320 four-inch springs. It is one of the few remaining sprung dancefloors in Britain. A new stage was also built, with space for a lift provided for the Wurlitzer organ console.
The Wurlitzer organ that was installed in the Empress Ballroom in the winter of 1934/35 was originally from the Tower Ballroom. Its specification was enlarged to match the specification of the new organ at the Tower Ballroom. The console was placed on a lift in the centre of the stage, and the pipe chambers directly above the stage. Horace Finch, pianist and accordionist for Bertini's Tower Ballroom band, was appointed the position of Empress Ballroom Organist from 1935-1962. The organ was removed in 1969 and was installed in the BBC Playhouse Studio in Manchester. It was in use there until its removal in 1988 after which it was purchased and parted out by the Sussex Theatre Organ Trust.
As part of the Winter Gardens, the ballroom is a Grade II* Listed Building.[2] It is operated by Crown Leisure Ltd, on behalf of Blackpool Council, who purchased the property from Leisure Parcs Ltd as part of a £40 million deal in 2010

Great video - I was there that year (not as a competitor) so it is especially lovely to see this. Beautiful, quality dancing. Interesting to hear the commentary around Foxtrot timing, explained a lot about why my teachers were obsessed with it's technicalities. Also explained a few unexpectedly low marks ;)
Fantastic, the atmosphere looks amazing there that night. X
@@OldDancingVideos It was. I also saw some of the pro latin, although I had to leave before the final. Imagine my disappointment when I learned afterwards that it was the night that Shirley and Corky took the title off Sammy and Barbara!
@@MsGrockle I can imagine must of been so exciting to see them win after so long
the golden era of dancing
1995年是中国第一次派队伍参加黑池舞蹈节，我父母曾参加过那次舞蹈节
